Time Out says:

It's hard to think of a better way to spend your time than sipping bubbly and learning how to make cheese

By Alannah Maher - 22 May 2020

If there’s one cheese out there that’s captured everyone’s hearts and minds, and clogged up everyone’s Instagram feeds, it’s got to be burrata. The semi-soft, fresh Italian cow’s milk cheese – mozzarella on the outside, super creamy stracciatella within – has pretty much found its way on to every restaurant menu in town.

The only thing more rewarding than slicing open one of these beautiful blobs and spooning it up, is slicing open and spooning up one you’ve made yourself. In just 90 minutes, the experts at Omnom Cheese will teach you how to do just that at this intimate, hands-on class at their Rosebery HQ.

After taking a break during the strictest of the physical distancing measures, these curd masters are back and ready to re-launch their new, smaller classes designed for ultimate health and safety. The team have made adjustments including limiting class numbers to 10 people, a physically distanced class layout, daily disinfection and cleaning of surfaces, and keeping soap and sanitizer handy for everyone. 

They’re keeping it fancy, you’ll still be able to sip on a glass of sparkling wine while you're taught the basics. Then you'll dive right in, heating, stretching and folding your very own burrata to perfection.

Best of all, you’ll walk away with a kilo of your hand-made burrata and bocconcini by the time you're done, as well as a recipe booklet and bragging rights. We suggest you clear out the fridge to make room beforehand. Head to the website to check out upcoming session times, including their express halloumi making class, and make a booking. These classes were booking out fast even when they could take more people, so don’t dawdle.

Want to learn how to press your own block of halloumi from the everyday utensils you already have in your kitchen? What about stretching and moulding your own gooey burrata and bocconcini? Want to do it with a glass of bubbles or a craft beer in hand? The folks at Omnom Cheese Making will sort you right out. These guys run boozy classes from their Rosebery HQ to get you skilled up in making your own artisan cheese varieties, and sell the ingredients and kits you need to keep it up at home.
